ELKO EPFarming and modern technology

We cannot predict the wind and rain precisely; we

can however, monitor and evaluate them very well.

Modern technology can make life easier and doesn’t

work only in homes but in commercial buildings and

smart cities. Technology can be a great help also were

Every good farmer, be it a grower, a breeder, a win-

emaker, a beekeeper or a forester, puts a lot of effort

and money into the proper management of his produc-

tion areas, but circumstances do not always allow him

iNELS Air is our response to the dynamically developing

network for IoT (Internet of Things). The IoT wireless

communications category describes the Low Power

Wide Area Network (LPWAN). This technology is

designed to provide both full-area outdoor coverage

and indoor signal, energy-saving and low-cost

operation of individual devices.

The iNELS Air product family devices understand

working on the Sigfox, LoRa and NB-IoT networks

(protocols).

This term includes the concept of connecting appli-

ances, machines, sensors to an existing internet struc-

ture. This structure uses a specially designed network

for small data transfer and low power consumption

over long distances. For our devices we use Sigfox,

LoRa and NB-IoT networks (protocols) LPWAN.

The data from the device are sent via the BTS (Base

Transceiver Station) to the backend from where it is

sent to the ELKO Cloud. Data can be accessed via

web interface (web browser in computer or smart-

phone) according to user requirements.

Farm

Every good farmer likes secure areas. After all, here

there is everything, buildings, machinery and the har-

vest from September. The motion sensors and the

camera system provide the viewer with the perfect

overview of any events in the area, even if they are not

present. Noise sensors protect agricultural machinery

from theft. In the event that an unauthorized person

enters, the owner is immediately informed and can

also light the lights in the area and trigger an alarm.

But smart technology can also help to considerably

save energy. An example is a light that automatically

switches on at dusk, while lit with minimal brightness.

When motion is detected, the illumination lights up to

full brightness and then decreases to a pre-set value.

Seemingly small but significant relief can be gained

with the possibility of the remote opening of gates,

and other entrances through a smartphone, which also

informs about their possible undesirable opening. The

system is fully variable, so the farmer only chooses the

elements he currently needs, and then later can add

to them at any time.

Noise measurementThe AirNOISE sensor measures the ambi-

ent noise level (dB). In case of a sudden in-

crease in noise, it sends information about

the event. For example, when a tractor is

started unlawfully.

Twilight sensorThe AirSOU sensor senses the current light

intensity at a given location. Depending on

the intensity measured, the intensity of the

artifi cial lighting can be adjusted. This sim-

ple concept can eff ectively reduce power

consumption.

Motion detectionThe AirMD-101 outdoor motion detector is

designed to detect the movement of peo-

ple, machines and animals in the monitored

outdoor area.

Farm buildings

Smart technology makes it easy to work on farms. We

offer a variety of monitoring sensors connected to

one central unit that evaluates the scanned data and

informs the user about the actual values or critical

states. Thanks to a wide range of sensors, it is possible

to monitor a range of variables, such as temperature,

humidity, voltage or current, or to measure energy

consumption.

Other sensors highlight open gates, doors or windows,

strangers, the presence of undesirable substances in

the air of farm buildings, and also monitor the state

of feed and the supply of fresh water to farm animals.

Additionally, with disasters such as fire or leaking water,

the farmer is warned in time and can intervene before

large-scale damage occurs.

Garages for parking expensive agricultural machines

and their accessories tend to be the target of thieves,

so it is advisable to provide these facilities with some

of the monitoring safeguards.

An important part of each farm is also the office where

it is possible to rely on smart lighting technology, main-

taining pre-set climatic conditions, theft security, evi-

dence of arrivals and departures of staff, or controlling

energy consumption.

Intrusion DetectionThe AirMD-100 indoor magnetic detector

is used to detect open gates, doors and

windows where there is a risk of intrusion

of unauthorized persons or the escape of

livestock.

Smoke Detector

Maintain pre-set conditions The AirIM input module records the current

temperature and humidity in the areas. This

makes it possible to maintain ideal breed-

ing conditions.

movement of persons, animals or machin-

ery in the interiors of buildings.

Fields

Information on the current state of conditions in the

fields is essential for timely and correct decision-mak-

ing on further crop cultivation. Sensors and weath-

er stations can monitor the state of the conditions

(temperature, humidity and soil, precipitation, wind

strength and direction) on production areas. The data

is stored in the ELKO Cloud. The information can be

displayed clearly in applications on your computer or

smartphone. The recorded data is further evaluated

and subsequently developed. Farmers can therefore

decide in time on the appropriate procedures to take,

thus eliminating possible harvest losses or, on the

contrary, increasing production.

Humidity level assessment has a significant meaning

especially when determining of fuel consumption of

agriculture machines - When tyres are slipping be-

cause of wet soil, then fuel consumption can increase

up to twice.

When exceeding or falling below the critical level, the

system immediately sends the information to a mobile

phone. Frequent risks are for example floods that com-

mit massive damage. Smart technology helps to warn

against their threat in a timely manner. Farmers can,

as far as it is possible, allow the floodwater to spill out

of their fields, for example into the meadows.

Vibration sensor

Liquid level sensorThe AirIM input module with the appropri-

ate probe detects the water level, if the

critical threshold is exceeded, an alert will

be sent to the farmer.

Weather stationThe AirMETEO weather station detects

wind speed, direction, temperature, humid-

ity and light level directly in the fi eld.

The AirSEIS shock sensor senses vibrations

belonging to cars of unauthorized persons.

An alert is sent when excessive vibration is

detected.

Noise measurementThe AirNOISE sensor measures the ambi-

ent noise level (dB). In case of a sudden

increase in noise, it sends information

about the event. For example, when a

tractor is started unlawfully.

Greenhouses

Greenhouses allow provision for the almost perfect

conditions for the growth of crops, practically at any

time of the year. Fruit is therefore weather-independent

and more bountiful than when growing outdoors.

However, in greenhouses, it is necessary to ensure

optimal conditions for growth, i.e. correct temperature,

humidity, intensity and length of lighting, and to ensure

ventilation and more. Smart technology connected to

the central unit will record data on current greenhouse

conditions and the farmer can make a decision on the

next cultivation process on their basis. The ideal condi-

tions, however, can be monitored and maintained by

the system without the intervention of a human being

Smart technology can completely control the entire

operation of greenhouses. Moisture sensors trigger

irrigation only when it is needed, in case of lack of

sunshine, the light with the pre-set colour spectrum

switches on, if it starts to rain, the windows are closed,

when the rain stops they open again.

Greenhouses under the control of smart technology

will always deliver a perfect harvest that will please

with both the high yield and the quality of the crops

and of course especially the great taste.

Measurement of current crop conditions

Twilight sensorThe AirSOU sensor controls the intensity

of the greenhouse lighting. If the intensity

of natural light drops below the desired

value, it can activate the artifi cial light.

The AirIM input module with temperature

and humidity sensor records the current

state of the quantities in the crops.

Automatic irrigationIf the system detects a shortfall of the soil

moisture condition, the irrigation starts au-

tomatically with the valve being operated.

Vineyard

The basis for producing delicious wines is healthy and

mature grapes. Furthermore, it depends on the skill,

experience and capabilities of the winemaker.

Smart technology can also help with providing a good

foundation. The main use is to find current actual data

on the meteorological situation and the current con-

ditions not only in the vineyard itself but also in the

soil where the temperature and humidity are sensed.

Using weather stations and other sensors connected

to the ELKO Cloud, we can closely monitor many vari-

ables that can prevent unwanted losses. If the set val-

ues are exceeded, the winemaker is notified by SMS

or notification on his smartphone.

Our technology will also help protect harvesting or

technical equipment from theft. The gyroscopic sen-

sor senses vibrations from cars that are being driven

through, and the vital information is instantly sent by

alert directly to their phones. There is also the ap-

propriate deployment of motion sensors. Thanks to

them, the lights in the respective part of the vineyard

can be switched on to warn unauthorized people that

they are known about.

Forests, meadows and pastures

Extensive meadows, pastures and forest stand full of

trees, wildlife, and often the field or forest nurseries,

place tremendous demands and require the proper

care. Watching hundreds of hectares and taking care

of everything that‘s happening to them is a superhu-

man task. Not in the 21st century in the world of smart

technology. Forests, meadows and pastures can be

guarded, protected, and cared for by iNELS Air detec-

tors. Fires, movement of people and animals, air quality,

and the theft of hay, logs or technical equipment. All

this and much more can be monitored by a combina-

tion of remote access detectors.

In the pastures and paddocks, it saves the time and

work, with automatic water replenishment or the re-

mote opening of a gate or door. An break in the fence

is detected immediately, not by an on-the-spot check.

A locator pinned to halters or collars will help to trap

the stolen or escaped animals. The driveways and

commodities themselves can be watched through the

camera system, motion detectors and gyro sensors. In

case of any unusual situation, a signal is sent, which

informs the owner directly via mobile phone through

the ELKO Cloud. For example, if we calculate the cost

of a gyroscope sensor against the price of a stolen log,

the investment definitely pays off.

Detection of open gates and entrancesThe AirMD-100 outdoor magnetic detector

is used to detect open doors or gates where

there is a risk of intrusion of unauthorized

persons or the escape of livestock.

Poultry and hatchery

Meat and eggs are inherent among basic food and raw

materials for further processing. Honest breeders are

trying to maintain maximum quality of the entire pro-

cess from hatching through fattening up to the daily

care of the difficult conditions favourable for breeding.

Whether its chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, or less

traditional species like quails and pheasants, it‘s always

necessary to ensure that poultry is provided with the

ideal conditions for healthy growth.

For example, with hatching, temperature is a key factor

that has to be stable at all times. At the time of hatch-

ing, an excess of harmful gases escapes from the eggs,

which can endanger the life of the hatching chickens.

Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the air quality,

to regulate ventilation and to intervene immediately

when dangerous levels are detected.

For poultry breeding, it is also necessary to provide

suitable light conditions, imitating daylight, not only

in terms of its colour spectrum, but also in the length

and intensity of the light. In seasons with a shorter

daylight time, it is necessary to artificially ensure the

extension of the light in the halls and its regulation,

imitating the onset of daylight and twilight.

For the successful growth of poultry, it is necessary to

maintain all the mentioned quantities in pre-set values.

Intrusion DetectionThe AirMD-100 indoor magnetic detector

is used to detect open gates, doors and

windows where there is a risk of intrusion

of unauthorized persons or the escape of

livestock.

Air quality monitoringIf the AirQS sensor detects the exceedance

of the critical CO2 values, the windows will

The mass of a hive provides beekeepers with impor-

tant information on the condition of the colony, and

of course the size of the colony. But getting them us-

ing a mechanical beehive scale is almost unrealistic.

Convenient and efficient solutions are offered by smart

technology.

An electronic scale is permanently stationed directly

under the hive. The sensor reads the weight and am-

bient temperature at regular intervals and sends the

data to the ELKO Cloud. The beekeeper can display

the current data, history, or convert it to clear graphs.

The data gathered informs the beekeeper of the stock,

through the feeding season, hibernation, or any ex-

traordinary situation. Thanks to this information, the

beekeeper can not only plan activities throughout the

year, but also intervene in a timely manner in emer-

gency situations of which he is informed on his mobile

phone.

The overall picture of the colony is complemented by

data from meteorological stations located near the

apiary.

Smart technologies are usable to maintain the right

conditions for longer storage of products. Sensors

inserted into the crop piles of the farmer‘s crop will

alert the farmer to the conditions present that are con-

ducive to the formation and spread of rot and mould.

They can also check the status of the conditions and

the level of filling of containers that cannot be seen.

The grain preservation in the silos is ensured by the

CO2 produced, if there is not enough, the air quality

sensor will warn of the shortage. There is a high risk

of fire in the storage areas, so it is highly desirable to

provide them with smoke detectors.

The monitoring relay monitors the state of machines

such as grain silos and conveyors, cleaners, dryers,

fans, and other devices, and detects their critical and

emergency conditions. Universal sensors monitor the

current status of the passage of current or voltage

and draws attention to any fluctuations.

Silos, granaries, warehouses, barns

Air quality monitoringIf the AirQS sensor detects the exceedance

of the critical CO2 values, the windows will

open automatically. Conversely, in areas

requiring the presence of CO2, it will alert

the farmer if its status is low.

Device status monitoringThe AirIM input module, in conjunction

with the appropriate monitoring relay,

monitors the current status of the appli-

ances and detects critical and emergency

conditions.

Measurement of the actual conditionsThe AirIM input module records the cur-

rent status of the variables (temperature

and humidity) in the product storage area.

as silos, can be equipped with the AirWS

ultrasonic sensor that reports the density
